This video describes the language innovations for the next version of Microsoft Visual Studio. See how the async language feature and new Microsoft .NET Framework APIs will come together to simplify asynchronous programming. No more callbacks! This is a demo-focused session where we explore a variety of asynchronous programming scenarios directly in Visual Studio. Finally, we provide a peek into future plans beyond the next release.

Hear from the C#,Visual Basic,and F# language designers themselves,about how we create the .NET Framework languages at Microsoft. Where do we get ideas? How do we incorporate new paradigms without breaking the existing languages? Where will we go in the future,and how will we get there? This video talks about all these topics and more.

Visual Basic IDE Program Manager, Dustin Campbell, speaks with Peter Golde and Ted Neward about the relationship between C# and Visual Basic (VB).

In this release of Visual Studio, C# and Visual Basic continue to evolve, providing new features to speed up development and add integration with dynamic languages. In addition, a new functional programming language called F# joins the set of managed langauges included in Visual Studio 2010. In this video, Jason Olson goes over the enhancements to C# and VB and the significance of F#.

For most of their lifetimes, C# and VB.NET have evolved at their own pace and in their own ways (C# added iterators, VB.NET didn’t. VB.NET added XML Literals, C# didn’t. etc, etc…). Today, Luca Bolognese and team have embarked on a new approach to how .NET’s premiere languages will evolve going forward: Co-Evolution. Essentially, new language/compiler features will be developed for each language concurrenly. No longer will C# get new language construct X while VB.NET adds Y. They will both get X (and they will both get Y). Anders Hejlsberg, …
